Fantastic solo and one of the best 5.6 routes I have ever done. Very good three pitches followed by one junk (slab) pitch that hooks into the top of West Country. If you want to bring gear, a #5 and #6 work perfectly on this route. Not true chimney or off width really, more just leveraging your right leg/foot for most of the way.

Climbed this route then took a long beer break at the edge of Tenaya Lake before going up Hermaphrodite Flake and Boltway. All 3 routes offer generally easy climbing but various sections give huge chimneys, liebacks, friction, face, runouts, easy cracks and tunnels! Climbed with Kali.

Came back with flyingmonkeys and climbed this, lead every pitch, very fun! Decided to bring along hilarious big gear, used all of it, still pretty run out. Opted not to belay in the crack for the pitch after the bolts and ran it out significantly over the 5.easy slab at the top of West Country, fun wandering! Nice to see that bolt there, though. Bring the 70 to link those two pitches together, gotta get back to Lee Vining in time for fish tacos at MoMart!

Outstanding route! Beautiful rock, scenery, and the moves aren't incredibly difficult considering the tremendous runout at a multitude of points. Once you're out of the dihedral, if you feel comfortable soloing 5.easy, solo the rest. Not worth pitching it out. You will NEED a minimum Black Diamond Camalot #5 for this, a #6 would be helpful on the dihedral as well.

Had to lead pitch two unprotected as our metolius #10 didn't even touch anywhere. Thinking back I could have stacked some hexes but that didn't occur to me at the time. But as before mentioned, plenty to places to slide your body in and rest. Not a hard route but take the R seriously.
